Admission to the evening event includes unlimited food and beverages featuring celebrity chefs, popular local chefs and specialty cocktails. “Our first year in Glendale was extremely successful and with the improvements to the venue, the added entertainment and another stellar lineup being auctioned, we’re thrilled to be back this March,” says Sam Murtaugh, vice president, Marketing and Presentation, for Mecum Auctions, based in Walworth, Wisconsin.
The Main Attractions The three marquee hypercars offered at Mecum Glendale 2020 will highlight any garage, any concours or rally. The Paint-to-Sample Riviera Blue Porsche 918 Spyder Weissach (Lot #S124), #421 of 918 produced, has had one owner who logged just 1,685 miles. The world-class 4.6-liter/ 887-horsepower DOHC direct injection engine is connected to an all-wheel-drive dual clutch PDK 7-speed automatic transmission and an electro-mechanical limited slip differential

With only 265 miles, the Ford GT (#S117) was owned by Sebastien Bourdais, GTE class winner of the 24 Hours of Le Mans in 2016 and is one of the three remaining Ford GT Competition Series, Serial #67. Its mid-mounted twin-turbo 3.5-liter DOHC 24-valve Ecoboost V-6 produces 647 horsepower and 550 ft/lbs of torque through titanium exhausts and tops out at 216 mph. The 7-speed dual clutch transmission includes paddle shifters, and the street-legal racer features five drive modes with two variable-ride-height settings. The McLaren Senna (#S110), with only 635 miles, is one of the 500 produced, with a 789-horsepower 4.0-liter V-8, including a twin-scroll twin-turbo with dry sump lubrication. Black on Galvanic Grey with Bright Red stitching, the car features a carbon fiber Monocage III chassis with an extruded aluminum subframe, twin-hinge dihedral doors. Inside are Senna SS logo embroidered headrests, celebrating the legendary F1 driver, a portrait screen infotainment system, Bowers and Wilkins seven-speaker audio and McLaren track telemetry. Three examples of 1960s American muscle are also main attractions.

The Garages of Scottsdale Brings Spaciousness, Privacy, Security and Luxury to Auto Garages written by Nick Esquer Every year, major car collectors roll into Scottsdale for car auction week. The annual Barrett-Jackson auction is the largest event, a veritable candyland for auto enthusiasts and casual onlookers alike. But while the yearly car extravaganzas are a great opportunity to eyeball some of the most unique and sought-after vehicles from yesteryear and today, for real estate developer Bob Gawlik, it’s practically an auto show every day in his life. Ever since Gawlik, a classic car disciple of sorts, got behind the wheel of his first car when he was 13 he’s been hooked on all aspects of the automotive world. He grew a passion for not only driving, but owning cars and collecting some of his favorites, like a 1968 American Motors AMX race car, 1967 Chevy Nova restomod, 1969 Corvette restomod, and a 1972 Camaro. But as his own collection of race cars and collector cars grew, he needed somewhere to park, store and access them. That’s when the idea for developing a unique garage complex for other collectors and auto enthusiasts like him came to mind. Gawlik’s Garages of Scottsdale complex, located in North Scottsdale, features 17 upscale garage units that are 5,000 &
Volume XVII, Number 02
6000 square feet, complete with ample space for customization. Standing at two stories in height, members have plenty of space to house numerous collectible cars and their automobila. Owners become engaged to truly make the space their own design something that’s been a big selling point for Gawlik. Most people who are car enthusiasts that want or need a garage space outside of their home are usually only able to find something of smaller size where they could put three or four cars in and stop,” Gawlik says. “I wanted to build this project with larger garages. It provides a facility to people that’s a spectacular complex that they’re an owner in and where they can store their cars and build out a man cave and customize the inside to their liking.” Here, garages are personalized to be not only places to store autos, but luxury, multilevel entertaining spaces, where owners turn them into man caves and host game nights and get-togethers with family, friends and other owners. The Garages of Scottsdale is more of an auto-centric lifestyleforward facility for car enthusiasts. The units provide a mixture

of comfort and luxury for each member. Owners at The Garages of Scottsdale like to be around their cars, so sofas, loungers, TV’s, stereo speakers and eating tables share space with coupes, roadsters, SUV’s, classics and exotics. A gated structure, the Garages can also house boats and RV’s and double as live-work units complete with kitchenettes and bathrooms. But the major draw for its members is the focus on safety, privacy, security and overall peace of mind, something that someone with a collection of unique cars would benefit from. “Privacy and security is an important issue. Our complex is private and we have security systems placed all around, and each individual has their own security system for their garage. The Garages also highly energy efficient with the ability to stay temperature and climate-controlled throughout the year, upholding the integrity of the cars inside. For members who have more than just a few cars to keep locked away, Gawlik had mezzanines installed and certified by structural engineers from the City of Scottsdale, capable to hold up to 60 tons of inventory at a time. At this writing Gawlik states that there are still garages available. Bob Gawlik can be reached at rfgawlik@gmail.com or 480-292-2258

you can thank us later How Nick Veldman of Venn Construction Helps Investors with Commercial Real Estate written by Nick Esquer Commercial real estate can be at the top of the priority list for many investors looking to expand their business into a new industry. After all, it’s proven to be a lucrative endeavor over and over again, and in a state that’s seeing steady growth in the space, many are looking to dive into their first or second property. But most investors just starting out in commercial real estate might not know who to turn to or the order of how things should go. From working with brokers to contractors to even just walking through a potential property, a lot can get confused and overwhelming. Commercial properties are a big departure from single-family investments and residential real estate altogether. From raising capital to working with all the cooks in the kitchen for a single deal, buying commercial real estate will require more from an investor. But that in a nutshell is what Nick Veldman, owner of Venn Construction, wanted to solve when he started the company in 2015. The way the industry is traditionally set up, Veldman explains, is that investors will go to acquire a piece of land or a building as an investment opportunity. They start with a land or sale broker, and from there, utilize the broker and architect to guide them through design. While this may be typical in
Volume XVII, Number 02
a new investor’s process, Veldman stresses they could be doing things differently and more advantageous to them as the consumer. “When I purchased the company and rebranded to VENN I wanted to do things differently. Seeing so many real estate transactions I knew that we needed to engage earlier. Most don’t call on the contractor until the land or building is acquired and the architectural drawings are nearing completion. We engage in the real estate process earlier than most think or traditionally call on the contractor for. There are things we see or do that can impact the decisions looking through the lens of an expensive piece of the overall investment: construction,” says Veldman. “Most people don’t bring their contractor in early enough because of the preconstruction cost or some sort of engagement agreement and the fear that they will not be able to bid multiple contractors.” With many commercial real estate investments, the construction is the most significant and variant cost, so by not bringing the contractor in early in the process, you’re risking an important step. Veldman and the VENN team take a personable approach to working with investors, brokers and architects to ease the stress and confusion behind this process.

He meets with them to walk multiple buildings and look at costs altogether, while also guiding them along the balancing act that is investing in commercial real estate. Nick goes on to share, “this coordinated effort of a multispecialty approach is exactly why we are called VENN and our logo is a straight-line play on the Venn diagram. When the three key professionals are truly involved from inception the best projects happen. Thus, the intersecting lines of our logo and our favorite ideal to work by: ‘the best things happen in the VENN’.” That balancing act also includes not only making the broker happy but also the municipality the building sits on. “We want to get involved and want everyone to win...In dealing with this every day, we have contacts in every area of expertise. So, from there, we can reach out to people we know in the architecture realm or local governance, and we can ask what we need to be aware of or what we need to know,” adds Veldman.
a horror story in commercial real estate. Someone along the way left them out of the loop about one part of a deal, or did what was best for them, leaving the investor in a tough spot and typically that is an expensive position to be in. “We provide that expertise and knowledge early on in the process for no cost as part of our business development in order to assist the client. Usually you have to pay a preconstruction fee for as much as five percent of the overall project cost. We approach this cost differently. We handselect great people to work with and dive in to help them to be successful both inside and outside the actual construction on the building. We choose not to charge for the preconstruction services because if we have determined a client is a great VENN fit for the weeks and months that we will be working together, we want the financial health of the project to be most ideal,” concluded Veldman.
According to Veldman, too many times he comes in conversation with investors who may have heard or been a part of

The Decade Begins on a Roll at Arizona Car Week in January written by David M. Brown Five Ford GTs represented half of the top 10 sales at the 49th Barrett-Jackson Scottsdale Auction during Arizona Car Week in January. This was the highest grossing event ever for the company, with $141-plus million in total sales, including the Paul Walker Collection, automobilia and charity vehicles. At the 21st-annual RM Sotheby’s Arizona auction in Phoenix, a Blue TriColore-liveried 2018 Pagani Huayra Roadster, the 42nd of 100 built, sold for $2,370,000, contributing to the $30.4-million total. And, in Scottsdale, at Gooding & Company’s 13th annual Scottsdale Auctions, a 1995 Ferrari F50 brought $3,222,500 –– the most valuable car sold during the week. Another classic Prancing Horse, a 1951 Ferrari 212 Inter Vignale Cabriolet, sold for $1.93-million at Bonhams 9thannual Scottsdale Auction, topping its sales, and a German classic of classics, a 1957 Mercedes-Benz 300SL, sold for

Martin DB5 (#1403), $660,000. Resto-Mods ran strong again, especially for younger buyers. “New buyers want cars that offer all the modern luxuries and technology with the classic body styles, which continues to drive the demand for Resto-Mods,” Jackson explains. “As their passion, knowledge and experience with collector cars mature, their focus shifts to collecting professionally restored, matching-numbers cars, which is a trend that is keeping this hobby alive and strong.” Automobilia sales were robust, too, with 1,206 pieces bringing $3.7-plus million.

Craig Jackson also brought stellar vehicles from his fine collection. He unveiled his restored 1967 Shelby GT500 EXP ‘Little Red,’ which was discovered on March 3, 2018, in rural north Texas by a Jackson team including classic-car restoration specialist, Jason Billups. The Shelby prototype is one of the most sought-after vehicles in postwar history. Jackson also displayed his 1968 Shelby GT500 prototype “Green Hornet.” The two classics were joined by two classics-to-be, a one-ofone Candy Apple Green and a Rapid Red 2020 Shelby GT500, also owned by Jackson. The 2020 Green Hornet car was the first model (VIN 001) produced at the Flat Rock Assembly Plant in Michigan last fall. Jackson and Davis, Jim Owens, Ford Mustang Brand Manager, and Aaron Shelby, grandson of Carroll Shelby, simultaneously started the combined 2,600-horsepower cars.

The AZ Jet Center Event raised money for the Wings of Humanity, which provides no-cost medical ambulance flights –– “saving Children one flight at a time” –– as well as for the Sol Dog Lodge building, an Arizona campus for training, boarding and fostering dogs and training rescue dogs for service and support animals for our military veterans.

In addition, the event provided awareness and encouraged registration for the Donate Life Arizona, an organ donor registry. “Members of the Jet Center Foundation team have seen the benefits of registering within our family,” says Scott Ingebretson, spokesman for the Jet Center Foundation. “We are proud to support all of these organizations.” And, at Barrett Jackson, $7.63 million was raised through the sale of nine charity vehicles, including two VIN 001 vehicles: the first mid-engine Corvette, the 2020 Stingray VIN 001 (#3007), $3 million, and the first production 2021 Lexus LC 500 Convertible Inspiration Series VIN 100001 (#3003), $2 million.

“Reaction to the mid-engine Corvette was incredible,” Barra says. “It’s both humbling and exciting to harness that success and support the local community through the Detroit Children’s Fund.” “What really elevated this Scottsdale Auction to the next level was the generosity of the many consignors and bidders who opened their hearts for charity,” Jackson adds. “What an incredible feeling to know that the collector-car community is having such a positive impact on the lives of people across the country who need our help.” For complete results and more information, see barrett-jackson.com; bonhams.com; goodingco.com; jetcenterevents.com; leakecar.com; rmsothebys.com; russoandsteele.com; and worldwideauctioneers.com.

Built Peoria Ford Tough Pat Hickey brings a community-first approach to modern car sales at Peoria Ford written by Nick Esquer For decades, the world of car sales has been accented by wacky-waving inflatable arm displays and salesmen who stand outside the dealership ready to jump on the next deal. Now, car buying has shifted to a consumer-friendly, customerfirst landscape where would-be car buyers dig in online and seek out as much information about a particular car they might buy. Even then, they may opt to purchase their next vehicle solely online and have it delivered, cutting out the need for salesmen altogether. This tech-forward approach to making one of the most important and most expensive purchases of someone’s life is something that Pat Hickey, general manager of Peoria Ford, is taking in stride and using as a way to shape the way he does business and stays at the top of auto sales in the Greater Phoenix area.
Volume XVII, Number 02
Located just west of the 101 freeway along a veritable auto dealership row, Hickey’s Peoria Ford has been the numberone volume Ford dealership in the state for eight years. Because of that, Ford gave the first open point in 18 years to Hickey, which became Surprise Ford located off the 303 and Waddell. But this merit didn’t happen overnight. In fact, Hickey has been at this for decades, having started his career in 1990 at ABC Nissan before embarking on his own career as an influencer in the car sales market. “I think that the key to success is processes and people,” Hickey notes, pointing to his approach to developing car sales professionals around him. “We keep refining our process and training our people. We don’t fake status quo and we want

to think of new ways to reinvent ourselves and how to get more value to the customer. It’s a big purchase so we want to create a lot of value for the customer.” Hickey, a Valley native who graduated from Arizona State University with intentions of becoming a lawyer, took the opportunity to engage with the customer in a more hands-on, personable, and efficient way, cutting out the need for puffy sales tactics. This helped lead to his purchase of what is now Peoria Ford back in 2010. Since then, Hickey has seen dramatic growth in sales and other areas of the dealership including a budding fleet department that sells nearly 400 new units per month, and a state-of the-art service department complete with the latest equipment to get customers in and out quickly. But a major emphasis that Hickey has cultivated at Peoria Ford is his devotion to developing true sales talent from a grassroots standpoint. The dealership employees nearly 250 individuals, including sales professionals who have to not only be able to converse with the customer but also have the knowledge that comes with this new age of car sales. “We’re rewriting some of our processes for customer experience as we focus on touch points on how to speed up the deal and work on efficiency. We want to educate the salesmen a bit more on how to sell the car, and we want to create a million dollar presentation for a $30,000 car,” Hickey explains.

Research shows that nearly 86 percent of all potential car buyers do their research online, and it’s not just to look up what make and model they want. From tech features like driver or parking assist and self-driving to more practical yet updated features such as better gas mileage and distance between oil changes, customers are wanting to know every aspect of the car and the car-buying process. “Selling a car isn’t just kicking the tire and saying it’s a good deal anymore,” notes Hickey. “People want that trust factor.” That’s what Hickey and his leadership team are instilling from the ground up at Peoria Ford where knowledgeable sales people can walk customers through every aspect of the car they’re interested in. Whether it’s the much talked-about electric Mustang or the dealership’s lineup of Tuscany products, including Shelby and Harley-Davidson trucks. Peoria Ford teamed up with the carmaker in 2011 to offer Arizona car buyers these unique models of Ford trucks. While many are familiar with the F-150 and Super Duty options, the new Raptor and Shelby models stand out to those in the market for something truly original, much like how Peoria Ford has reshaped the way to buy a car as we head into a new decade.

Beyond developing a transparent and knowledgeable staff of professionals and offering one-of-a-kind car models and mechanical service, Hickey is a true devotee to the status of his community, helping causes around him. While Peoria Ford pumps life back into the surrounding community with more than $2 million annually from tax revenue, helping everything from roads to schools, Hickey does his part to help veterans, foster children, and pets. From Phoenix Children’s Hospital to Boulder Crest, a rehabilitation service for veterans back from service, to partnering with local radio personalities Johnjay and Rich to help foster kids in the #LoveUp Foundation, one of Hickey’s missions is to inspire those around him. This same approach goes into his daily leadership focus at Peoria Ford. “I’m a local guy and I love my community,” he explains. “That’s what I want people to know is that we’re all about community here and helping those in need, and that can include making sure people get a great deal on a car.” Peoria Ford (623) 239-3722 www.PeoriaFord.com 9130 W.

Dan Withers’ memorable classics are classic memories, too. When he was 4 in Pittsburgh, his mom, June, saw a local ad placed by a man who wanted someone to transport a 1956 Cadillac hardtop to Phoenix. She arranged with the owner to make the journey so that she and the family could leave what was then a sooty rust-belt city. Her mother-in-law lived in Phoenix and often spoke of blue skies and year-long sun. Dan’s dad was in Korea, serving with post-war troops. Dan Withers never forgot that Caddy. Today, the retired founder of D.L. Withers Construction looks down from the mezzanine of his 22-foot-ceiling showroom and warehouse in Tempe and enjoys his 45-car collection. Purchased in 2014, the 30,000-square-foot garage is the third for his collection. The former restaurant supply space retains its exhibition kitchen, where cooking demonstrations were once held. He has parties here occasionally, most recently one honoring Robert Burns, the great Scottish poet. Withers recalls: “We had lots of haggis, Scotch and bagpipes!” In his upsized man cave, he displays classics, resto-mods, hot rods, muscle cars, racers, exotics and supercars. Most are taken to shows, driven in rallies and raced. “The collection is an eclectic group that represents many

different types and eras in the automobile industry,” he says. “Much like the changes in the industry over the years, I’ve changed my focus, so you will see a wide range of types and years.” He has no master plan. He's just committed to stewarding masterful cars. Among the pre-war cars are a Good Guys Rod & Customwinning 1935 Ford 3-Window Custom Coupe; a 1940 Ford Woody Wagon from the acclaimed Pratt Collection in Chandler; and a multi-trophied 1948 Chevy Pro Mod truck that has put down 6-second quarters at 220 mph with a Kenny Duttweilerbuilt dual turbo and a Hughes Powerglide tranny. “Lots of fun,” he says. Others include an award-winning 1952 Hudson Hornet, finished in original plum, which he purchased man to man from the owner at an Arizona Concours. Hornets stung regularly in early NASCAR, winning because of uni-body construction, a low center of gravity and drivers willing to push them to their potential. “Wayne Carini almost bought it two years ago,” Withers recalls. “It’s big and well appointed. You can get four adults in the back seat. I know; I’ve done it.” From the 1960s is a spectacular resto-mod yellow “Aluminator” from Detroit Speed Shop. “It’s a ‘69 Camaro that looks like stock on the outside, including black racing stripes, but packs

a 900-horsepower motor and suspension underneath,” Withers says. “We detuned it to 650 horses plus to keep it manageable.” Also in the Withers collection are two 1969 American Motors Scramblers, “Johnny Lighting,” with the original 390-cid powerplant, and a beautiful replica equipped with a 502-cid crate motor that does 8-second quarters. Dan: “The guy who I bought the first car from comes to visit it. Last time he was here, he saw the re-creation for the first time and cried.” And, from the decade of muscle cars, he has a pristine Chevy 409/409, also from the Ron Pratt Collection, and two Resto Mods, a 1967 Nova and a 1964 Pontiac Bonneville, built by the inimitable Gabe’s Interiors of San Bernardino. In addition, he has a one-year-wonder 1963 black split-window Vette. Generally an uninspiring decade for American high performance, the ’80s are eloquently spoken for by two Buick Grand Nationals, a GNX, #221 (of 547) with just 68 miles, and a drag car built by the great Duttweiler, which has run low 9s. From the ’90s is the first-year 1991 Acura NSX, a rare automatic car (one of 208 made), and a 2017, when the model

reappeared. “I took the first one right out of Bell Honda and drove it up to Jerome through all of the switchbacks. When the new one came out, I had to have it; I love it, a great rally car and comfortable ergonomically,” he says. Recently, Withers has joined Porsche enthusiasts, with a 2015 918, a hypercar brandishing 2.2-second 0–60 performance, and a 520-horse 911 GTS RS, which he regularly drives to, from and at the APEX Motor Club track in nearby Maricopa. “It’s amazing,” he says. “I can take it from here in the showroom 30 minutes south to the track, run it for as long and hard as I want and drive it back without issues. Porsche really has the track cars figured out.” Three trailers, one a 48-foot IKON behemoth with a 13-speed automatic, ensures safe multi-car delivery to tracks throughout the West, Texas to Vegas to Pomona. For every day he drives a Chevy Denali. “Well, I’m a contractor,” he says with a smile. “The other day, I finished up a phone call that wasn’t all that pleasurable, but I immediately looked down at the collection,” he recalls. “Life, I said to myself, isn’t too bad after all.”

extensive, including support for the ASU Foundation and the Herberger Theater.
When the family arrived in Phoenix six decades ago, his mom waitressed at the original Bill Johnson’s Big Apple restaurant on Van Buren Street in downtown Phoenix. After he left the service, his dad worked at another landmark Valley building, the Motorola Plant on McDowell Road.
Success and a life-long passion for cars brought him to his first collector car in 2000, a 1947 Lincoln Continental. “It was not a good example, and I sold it for a loss,” he recalls. “After that, I decided to buy quality cars even if they cost a little more. I’ve never gone wrong with that decision.”
He knows the value of a dollar and parts interchangeability. His parents had 1955 and 1956 Chevy’s, but the cars rarely ran simultaneously. “They swapped parts to keep them running,” he recalls.
Dan’s Drives
He graduated from Mesa High School; he began drag racing. Three decades or so later, he started visiting the track again, in a 1957 Chevy Bel Air: He was 17 again. Off the track, he completed a bachelor’s of Science at the ASU Construction School in 1974. “I was lucky to be one of those people who found his major and career very early,” he recalls. He picked right: “I just liked the business and the people.” After working for companies in California and Phoenix, he founded D.L. Withers Construction in 1981, focusing on commercial building. Noted for his quality work and personal service, the company flourished, peaking at 150 employees. For years, the company ranked in the ENR Top 200 Contractors in the U.S. His company’s community efforts have been

•1932 Ford Highboy Roadster –– Get your goggles out and a shovel! On August 21, 1954, the all-steel coupe was clocked at 142.97 mph at Utah’s Bonneville Salt Flats. Built by Miller Automotive, Chino, California, the car displays a tarnished dash-mounted commemorative brass plaque from the Southern California Timing Association certifying this. The owner returned to the Salt Flats the following year but couldn’t best the clocking. Withers knows why. “I’ve had it up to 75 mph, and it’s scary. It’s basic and bare bones, a very unforgiving car,” he says, hardly a tenderfoot Saturday-afternoon racer. He’ll show you the ragtop’s few options: sand dusting the driver’s floorboard and dried-up, crumpled-up newspaper bits. The sand is from Wildwood beach in New Jersey, where he participated twice in the Race of Gentlemen for cars 1934 and older, an event then held in June but now in September.

Dan Withers with his 1938 Lincoln “Lead Zephyr”
“It’s a drag race in the sand; when you launch, half the beach blows forward, and what doesn’t go down the back of your neck goes onto the floor,” he recalls, scooping a handful to demonstrate. He’s been able to read enough of the worn paper to know it’s from 1948 and somewhere in California. “That’s the insulation for the car,” he says, showing you some that’s been stored in a glass jar. “I’m going to humiditize it at some time, flatten it out and read the paper.” The racer has a 221-cid flathead V-8, with Offenhauser heads, Stromberg trips and a Harman Collins magneto, Halibrand quick-change axle and Stewart Warner gauges. A well-patinaed blue covers the body. Bob Petersen of the Petersen Automotive Museum in Los Angeles acquired the car and kept it until 2013, selling it to a private collector. Withers bought it at RM Monterey in 2016; he promptly refreshed the engine and electricals.
redesigned and create a whole new look and function. A friend of mine once told me, ‘Anyone can restore a car, but it takes a real man to cut one up!’’’ By these terms alone, the late Boyd Coddington was real: He cut, chopped and chiseled classics into neo-classics such as Chezoom, CadZZilla and this one, the Withers collection centerpiece. They helped make Hot Rods by Boyd in Whittier, California, legendary in magazines, car shows and on television. “People such as Boyd and his student, Chip Foose, imagineered some of the most appreciated hot rods and resto-mods of our time,” Withers explains, noting that his collection also contains Foose’s reimagined 1934 Ford/1999 Prowler once owned by hotelier Dick Marriott. Ken Lingenfelter installed the LS1 engine and drivetrain.
“I even got a 1932 Arizona license plate from someone locally,” he says pointing to the well-worn one on the back. It looks sand blasted.
Purchased by Withers in 2018 at the Monterey RM auction, "Lead Zephyr" was Coddington’s come-back car after his client-forced bankruptcy, Withers notes. He started with a John Tjarrda-designed 1938 Ford Zephyr and made it even more worthy of the Greek god of the mild west wind (“Zephyrus”) than the original, with sinuous lines that changed the car world.
•1938 Lincoln “Lead Zephyr” –– “I started collecting as a purist and wanted only cars that were restored to their original condition with a high quality of workmanship in mind,” Withers recalls. “I would never think of cutting up at car at the time. But later I realized that original cars can be modified and
Marcel and Sons first shaped the bare steel, working with Coddington. Then, he fitted an Art Morrison chassis and built an air-suspension system. A 430-cid/500-horsepower Ford block was connected to an AO6 automatic, Coddington steering wheel, wheels and gauges.

1955 “Newmad”
Finally, Coddington sprayed the car with Dupont Char-cool and Body Mellow Yellow, and Gabe’s Custom Upholstery finished the interior and trunk. Voilà, automotive history.
Withers is the seventh owner of the matching-numbers classic. Renowned marque expert Paul Russell looked after it prior to Withers’ purchase, a key reason for its outstanding condition.
“Look at the details,” Withers notes. “The gapping is perfect, and the ridge line running across the hood and top is fabulous. He even molded a drip line off the top,” he says, pointing. “The night after I acquired it, I got some Corona, sat down by the driver’s door and just looked for hours.”
He drives it regularly and is frequently seen at APEX Motorsports, Phoenix International Raceway, the Copperstate 1000 and the 300SL Classic. He's even had it in Israel for the Holyland 1000. Following acceptance, he hopes to drive it in the famed Mille Miglia in two years.
•1955 Mercedes 300SL–– This fine, unrestored example of the 1,400 “Gullwings” produced through 1957 has the rare limited-production NSL motor, a 3-liter straight six with 240 horsepower and 202 lb/ft of torque linked to a 3-speed manual. These engines were standard in the 28 all-alloy versions of the hardtop but were optional otherwise. Weighing in light at 2,890 pounds, the supercar was the day’s fastest production vehicle, topping out at a potent 146 mph.
“I’ve spent hours in it. It has a lot of power and I don’t have to worry about it mechanically,” he says. “I love it.”

•1955 “Newmad” –– He has two Nomads, which were Chevy’s top-of-the line station wagon in 1950s: a turquoise, which he once took employees to lunch in during Secretaries Day, and this magnificent resto-mod with House of Color Platinum White over Makik Blue Pearl Blue.

Famed Steve’s Restorations of Portland, Oregon, created the steel-bodied car for the former owner, Dave Hall of Ahwatukee, a foothills Phoenix community. “I told him he can visit the car whenever he wants to,” says Withers, who purchased it in August 2006. “The NewMad is a true work of art from some of the best metal craftsmen in the business,” said Hall in a 2002 interview with Hagerty.
A great driver at 4,672 pounds, it’s fully optioned, with the 305-horse V-8 and “Batwing” dual quads, air-conditioning, allleather interior, signal-seeking radio, power windows and sixway power seats. “It even has the Autronic high-beam eye. They didn’t work then, and this one doesn’t now,” he says, with a bright smile below a white fedora matching the interior. ***
Steve’s placed a 496-cid Arias aluminum big block, good for 540 horses and 565 lb/ft of torque, and a Hughes transmission. Budnik Wheels were chosen. “It’s won every award a steel car can get and recently was shown at Pomona,” Withers says. “With the Buick GNX and the Lead Zephyr, it’s one of the three cars I don’t drive. Here, it gets standing applause every day.” •1956 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible –– When Withers saw this car at Barrett-Jackson in January 2001, he had to own it. Not only did the ragtop recall the sedan from the same year he came West in when he was 4 but also because it was magnificently redone by the former owner, Eddie Daur of Sunrise, Florida, who has another ’56, Marilyn Monroe’s. Withers got into a bidding war that the auction crowd reinforced with their encouragement –– “They got louder and louder” –– and he took it home. “It’s been judged a 99-point car, and I have shown it many times and won many awards,” he says. These include a First Place at one of the Arizona Concours events and a Grand National from the Antique Automobile Club in 1998.

Withers is often asked about his favorite. “My response has been that it’s really about the experience. They are all unique,” he explains. “Many of these cars represent new and creative perspectives on the automobile. Some are like sitting in a time capsule from the past. Others are about the challenge and exhilaration of their performance.” They connect us with the past and with other car lovers. “Today we all have some relationship with the automobile that include memories both good and bad. It’s a way to connect with my past. Everyone that comes to the garage finds a favorite that always includes a memory.” The cars have also taught him from their long experience. “We’re not their owners,” he says. “We’re the caretakers.” If you or someone you know has a GreatGarages and would like it to be considered for an upcoming issue, please e-mail us at info@highline-autos.com.

READER’S RIDES Featuring
James & Kelly Kramer photos by Alex Sczudlo
Highline- Tell us a little bit about yourself (passions, hobbies, work related)? JK- Aside from growing in my car collector hobby, I also am a competitive cyclist on the road & track including 17 state championships and 4 podiums at national championships. I used to be a pretty competitive golfer, getting down to a 3.8 handicap at one point, but rusty now. Highline- Tell us a little bit about your collection and how you got into Lamborghini in particular? JK- I grew up in a car family who primarily liked 50-60’s classic and muscle cars. Currently, I have a 1988.5 Lamborghini Countach 5000QV in white/red, a 1998 Lamborghini Diablo SV Monterey Edition which is #20 of only 20 made in blue/ cream, and a 2016 Lamborghini Aventador SV roadster. We are building a new house which will house up to 12 cars and I am going to continue to grow the collection focusing on V12 cars, preferably more rare ones, and wanting them in all colors of the rainbow! I have gravitated towards Lamborghini because I like the aggressive and flamboyant nature of the brand. Highline- If you can pick a favorite out of your collection which car is it and why? JK- For now, it’s the Aventador SV roadster as it is the most outlandish look combined with the most powerful engine in an open top! Highline- If you were planning on adding to your collection what would you buy and why? JK- The future will see a Murcielago SV, a Ferrari F12 & FF, and an Aston Martin V12 Vantage.

Pagani Imola Limited-run, just five models built Named after the racetrack on which it was modeled and fine-tuned, the new Pagani Imola is a roadworthy Hypercar with a wholly racing temperament that embodies the maximum expression of Pagani Automobili’s track technology. With a limited edition of only five examples built, the Pagani Imola has gone through the severest on-track validation test ever applied to a Pagani car. In addition to the regular and already scrupulous validation process, in fact, Imola has covered over 9,900 miles on the track at racing speed – the equivalent to about three times the 24 Hours of Le Mans. A vehicle-laboratory A major step forward in the technological and scientific progress of Pagani Automobili, the Pagani Imola is a vehiclelaboratory where important innovations have been devised, tested and developed. Some of these have been used in the Roadster BC and will be a feature of Pagani’s future creations. Experimenting is an inborn part of Pagani Automobili’s research philosophy. The training experience we acquired back in 2008 with the Zonda R proved priceless since it
Volume XVII, Number 02
enabled us to create the Huayra using solutions tested in extreme conditions. At that time, we came up with revolutionary ideas like the Carbo-Titanium chassis, as well as geometries, materials and concepts that were hitherto unheard of from the aerodynamic, dynamic and supercar-safety viewpoints. Working in partnership with Pirelli, we developed tires for the Zonda R using the new MIRS system, subsequently applied to the Huayra and Formula 1 race cars. Similarly, once we had laid down the initial specifications, we worked on the Imola project in a very open-minded way and with the utmost freedom from the technical viewpoint in our efforts to integrate the innovations as the vehicle took shape. Pagani Imola uses the active aerodynamics system introduced by the Huayra, the first road vehicle ever to be equipped with this technology. This means that each of the four mobile winglets behaves according to the driving circumstances in a dynamic and immediate way and even when braking, by generating an aerodynamic braking action. see www.HIghline-Autos.com for full story and photos
